Argun Reserve

The Argun State Historical-Architectural and Natural Museum-Reserve is a reserve located in the southern part of the Chechen Republic on the territory of the Vedeno Reserve and covering the Itum-Kali and Sharoy districts in whole, as well as partially Achkhoy-Martan, Vedeno and Shatoy districts. It was established on June 2, 1988 by the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR. The area is 233,800 hectares. We can safely say that the Argun Reserve is an open-air museum. It includes historical and natural monuments of the Argun Gorge. Of the natural monuments on the territory of the Argun Museum-Reserve, the most remarkable is the Sheki-Hyekh cave with sulfur springs, from which a hydrogen sulfide river flows. Of the cultural and historical sites, there are about 150 tower complexes of the early and late Middle Ages, religious buildings, military and residential towers, early Muslim burials, cyclopean structures and other historical monuments. Many objects of the museum-reserve are in ruined condition.

We took a fascinating tour of the mountains of Chechnya, visiting several significant historical sites. Our first stop was the Ts1echa Akh complex, where, surrounded by mountain slopes and ancient tower buildings, we felt the spirit of antiquity and the power of mountain nature.

Then we went to Yalkhary, a clan village surrounded by picturesque landscapes. The winding roads, breathtaking views, and peaceful atmosphere made the trip especially memorable.

The final stop was the village of Khaibakh, one of the oldest in the region. Its stone buildings, silence, and stunning views create the feeling of traveling back in time.

The excursion left a lasting impression and allowed us to take a fresh look at the rich history and beauty of mountainous Chechnya.
